I like your first photo capturing the motion at night.
It has been ages since I made passenger stops at LaSalle on Rock Is;land's #11 & 12.

Hi Bob.
You've probably kept up with pics of the depot at LaSalle over the years. Here's a few of mine;

In 2015 after it was a lawnmower shop....

In 2018 with the Illinois Railway on the ex-BN tracks peeking over building materials trans load location....

and

a little color with the BUreau SWitcher in 2019 coming past to work the hill track....


I have a daughter and grandson up in Casper. Looks like 2021 will be the summer I get out to see them.


Safe wishes
